Chapter 31: The Wish General Store has another customer again!

Every time she returned to the general store, she would feel exceptionally relaxed.

Especially this time, returning fully loaded, with a full 35 days of lifespan, a triumphant return!

It was like winning a battle and bringing home a beauty. Who could understand this feeling of pure bliss!

“Ah, this is the life I want!”

—Puff, puff, puff.

The boiling water tapped against the lid of the instant noodles.

Su Li’er sat back in her chair, looking completely relaxed and in a great mood.

‘Instant noodles really need an egg.’

‘Ok, now I just have to wait quietly for the instant noodles to cook~~~’

Su Li’er squinted her eyes, shaking her little head, happily clapping her hands, feeling the ample lifespan in her body, a sense of accomplishment and relaxation.

‘Oh, right, right.’

‘I forgot to undo the disguise art.’

—Disguise art, deactivate.

Swoosh.

Her fox ears and nine tails all popped out. The baby fat disappeared, and her face became an oval shape. Her pupils returned to a sakura pink, and her whole body exuded the aura of a fairy.

Afterwards, Su Li’er pulled off her tattered simple dress and casually pulled a nightgown from the closet. It had layers of patterns, like a mille-crepe cake.

‘Oh right, this dress is also white.’

Choosing a color is too much trouble. Simple white is just fine.

At this moment, a voice flashed in her mind.

—Ding dong, it has been detected that the host has absorbed the dragon’s saliva and has successfully absorbed the dragon’s aura. An additional spirit root slot has been unlocked. The host can learn another spirit root.

Su Li’er’s mood immediately soared. She jumped up from her chair, “What does that mean? I can learn another spirit root?”

—Hint, the host can learn the Flame Spirit Root and can fuse the Flame and Ice Spirit Roots into a Thunder Spirit Root, completely mastering the power of the Heavenly Dao Lightning Tribulation.

“Huh? Huh!? That’s so awesome?!”

Su Li’er was in a daze.

‘In other words, I can have this kind of combat power even when I leave the general store… Holy crap!’

‘Then I’ll be invincible!’

‘At that time, I can make whoever I want emit alluring energy!’

‘Hmph, hmph, if the big ice block Sect Master dares to disobey, then I’ll conquer her with force, tie her up and forcefully take her alluring energy!’

‘Oh ho ho ho!’

Su Li’er’s tail wagged with excitement. A beautiful life was already appearing before her eyes. Lifespan at her fingertips, unparalleled combat power, a beautiful big sister in each arm, making them submit to her… hehe~~~

‘Good!’

After two and a half seconds of thought, Su Li’er made a decision firmer than bedrock—’I must learn the Flame Spirit Root!’

‘For a better tomorrow!’

‘Go for it!’

‘Oh no, no, the instant noodles are getting soggy. I have to eat them quickly!’

So, Su Li’er slurped her instant noodles with anticipation. With a clearer direction, her heart was full of hope and motivation!

‘Then I’ll go up the mountain tomorrow~~~’

‘I’ll find out how to cultivate the Flame Spirit Root. Cultivating the Flame Spirit Root will have to be done slowly, it’s probably quite difficult.’

‘I can’t forget the main task: continue to win over the big ice block Sect Master and strive to absorb more lifespan!’

‘More lifespan is always a good thing, a higher margin for error!’

‘But I’ve only been gone for a day. The big ice block Sect Master probably hasn’t even noticed. Forget it, the plot of the big ice block Sect Master regretting and pursuing the undercover junior sister seems to be out of the question~~~ I’ll just be more coquettish at that time and win over the big ice block Sect Master in one fell swoop!’

Actually, ever since she had the experience of getting close and affectionate, Su Li’er had a theory in her heart: ‘Could it be that the amount of lifespan gained is related to the intensity of the affection?’

‘For example, caressing, kissing, only two days?’

‘These are all relatively simple things. If it were a more in-depth affection… the lifespan gained would be even more, right!’

This question, Su Li’er had thought about for a long time. She was very curious and eager to try.

‘Ah right, I have to declare, it’s definitely not because I, Su Li’er, want to be lewd with the pretty big sister. It’s all for the sake of lifespan.’

****

After finishing the instant noodles.

Su Li’er opened another bag of potato chips, propped her legs on the table, and munched on the potato chips domineeringly. The crunching sound echoed in the bedroom.

Suddenly, a pleasant sound was heard, particularly clear in the quiet night.

—Ting-a-ling-ling.

It was the sound of the wind chime.

‘Hmm? There are still customers this late at night? This small village is usually deserted at night!’

‘It can’t be some lost old man, can it?’

‘Forget it, I’ll just ignore him.’

Su Li’er turned a deaf ear and continued to munch on her potato chips.

After a short while, a clear and beautiful voice came from the general store. It was faint and very pleasant to listen to, “Hello, are you open?”

‘This!?’

‘It’s not an old man?’

Su Li’er’s eyes snapped open. She was slightly surprised. She put down the unfinished potato chips and walked out of the bedroom. When she lifted the curtain, she was stunned.

There was no other reason than the fact that the customer in front of her was too unique.

A head of blue hair, a tall figure, wearing a turquoise long dress that concealed her figure, but one could intuitively feel that she was very slender, light, and beautiful.

Unfortunately, she also wore a veil, so her true appearance could not be seen.

Only a pair of autumn-water-like eyes were revealed, black and white, full of spirit.

‘This person, why does she look so familiar?’

Su Li’er quickly came back to her senses and showed a standard polite smile, “Hello~~ customer, what’s your name?”

“My name is Tang Ying… Tang Qingqing.” Tang Qingqing was slightly dazed. “Are you the owner of this shop? A nine-tailed fox?”

“Of course!” Su Li’er snapped her fingers.

Then, a table and two sets of small wooden chairs appeared out of thin air, and a bottle of cola appeared on the table.

“It’s actually summoning objects from thin air? So powerful?” Tang Qingqing was astonished.

“Big Sister Tang is too kind. Please, have a seat.” Su Li’er extended her hand and said with a smile, “It’s just a little trick, not worth mentioning.”

“The shop owner is too modest.” Tang Qingqing suppressed the shock in her heart, nodded, and took a seat.

“This is a good tea from my hometown. Big Sister Tang, please try it.” As she spoke, Su Li’er poured a glass of cola and handed it over.

“Thank you.” Tang Qingqing took a sip and was repeatedly surprised. “The taste is excellent.”

“Yep!” Su Li’er was overjoyed, as if she had found a kindred spirit. “Big Sister Tang has good taste! If that’s not enough, I have more. Drink as much as you like!”

“Mmm, thank you, shop owner.” Tang Qingqing hesitated for a moment. “May I ask for the shop owner’s name?”

“You can call me Little Heavenly Dao.” Su Li’er said with a light laugh. “The number one person under the current Heavenly Dao. If you need any help, or any magic treasures or items to purchase, it’s all within my business scope.”

“Under the current Heavenly Dao… the number one person?” Tang Qingqing’s expression changed slightly.

“That’s right~~” Su Li’er responded lazily.

“Is that so…” Tang Qingqing looked slightly suspicious.

Su Li’er pouted and muttered unhappily, “Big Sister Tang doesn’t believe me!”

“No.” Tang Qingqing thought for a moment. “That title is too great.”

As expected, new customers always have some reservations… I’ll have to use a little bit of my power to prove it!

Su Li’er narrowed her eyes and asked, “Why doesn’t Big Sister Tang believe me?”

Tang Qingqing’s black and white eyes were full of hesitation and suspicion. “Even if the shop owner has a special status, being a rare nine-tailed fox from ancient and modern times, and your methods are indeed powerful, understanding the ancient art of space, to call yourself the number one person under the heavens, I cannot agree, nor can I imagine it.”

It was a very calm statement, neither humble nor arrogant.

Su Li’er nodded in understanding. “Big Sister Tang has a point.”

Tang Qingqing took a deep breath. “I hope the shop owner is not a swindler. I am short on time and still have many things to do.”

“Of course I’m not.” Su Li’er blinked innocently. “I just feel that this kind of thing is easy to incur the jealousy of the heavens and attract unnecessary trouble… Since Big Sister Tang wants to see, then please look here!”

As she spoke, she extended a jade-like finger as slender as a spring onion and gently shook it.

—Sizzle.

The sound of an electric current was heard.

At her fingertip, a very small electric current and a faint mist swirled.

At the same time, an indescribably terrifying aura spread, making one’s kneecaps tremble uncontrollably.

Tang Qingqing’s eyes widened almost instantly as she murmured in disbelief, “…Flawless Heavenly Dao Lightning Tribulation?!”

In this world, there might be many people who do not recognize it.

After all, this is the true, flawless Heavenly Dao Lightning Tribulation, a rare sight in this world!

But Tang Qingqing definitely recognized it, because not long ago, she had been seriously injured, and it was by a counterfeit of the flawless Heavenly Dao Lightning Tribulation—a pseudo-heavenly thunder.
